Dr. Davey Smith, a Professor and Chief of Infectious Diseases at U.C. San Diego, firmly believes that a scientific response is the only way out of this pandemic, specifically by conducting rigorous clinical trials. Davey begins filming video diaries just as the COVID-19 pandemic threatens to surge in California. Over the course of three months, Smith shares how he juggles his increasingly busy ward rounds and a clinical trial studying hydroxychloroquine, a controversial and politically polarizing drug claimed to be able to treat COVID-19. “The science doesn't care about politics. It doesn't care whether you are a Republican or a Democrat. It only cares about finding out the truth,” Smith said.
